Where Australia leads – with its large amounts of sunshine – the UK should eventually follow When Jane Whiltsher used to open her power bill it grated. “I always felt that I was being ripped off,” she says. “It’s just the way they operate. It keeps going up and up.” Two months after having a
It’s encouraging to hear this kind of optimisim made public! Tesla Motors CTO JB Straubel was the headliner at Intersolar North America last week. He talked about the transition to lithium-ion batteries and how that opened the floodgates for electric cars and stationary storage (eventually); the synergy between EVs, solar, and grid storage; the growth
Energy storage is heralded as the critical technology that will make widespread adoption of renewable energy possible. Storage bottles sunlight, addressing a key drawback to solar energy — that it can’t provide electricity when the sun isn’t shining. Energy storage also cures additional utility ailments from grid resiliency to power smoothing. Due to a rise
The trend towards cheaper home energy storage shows no sign of slowing down London startup tailors smaller, cheaper battery for UK households to use more of their own generated solar energy When Elon Musk, the chief executive of Tesla, took to the stage in California in April to launch a solar battery for the home,
It looks like affordable home energy storage could finally be coming available in the UK Maturing and more affordable storage technology promises to “revolutionise” the UK solar PV market, according to a panel at today’s Solar Finance and Investment Conference.

A houseowner in Lewes has become one of the first in the area to use state-of-the-art lithium battery technology to store energy from solar PV panels. Jill Goulder has installed a lithium battery storage system linked to her solar PV panels. These recharge during sunlight hours and provide power in the evenings – very useful
Earlier this year I saw an all in one inverter and domestic battery unit on display at the Bosch stand at CES. 2 years ago I stayed with my friend Simon Hackett in Adelaide, Australia and saw his line up of domestic batteries in sturdy cabinets outside his home. Simon’s house is covered in solar
